- the diagram on the left side of FIG. 6 shows the patrol route R1 of the autonomous vehicle 100 when the security vehicle is not patrolling as a result of acquiring the patrol schedule information of the security vehicle.
- the autonomous vehicle 100 creates and moves along a figure-8 shaped patrol route R1 that covers the entire area shown in the figure in order to monitor the entire area.
- the diagram on the right of Figure 6 shows the patrol route of the autonomous vehicle 100 when a security vehicle is patrolling.

- R2a that travels along the same route as the security vehicle, shown by the dotted line, in the opposite direction, and travels along that route.
- the autonomous vehicle 100 is described as switching between two patrol routes R1, R2 or R1a, R2a, but the manner in which the autonomous vehicle 100 switches between patrol routes is not limited to the examples of Figures 6 and 7. For example, if there are multiple patterns for the patrol route of a security vehicle, the autonomous vehicle 100 may move along a patrol route that corresponds to these different patrol routes.
- the frequency with which the autonomous vehicle 100 obtains security vehicle patrol schedule information may be every few hours, but by obtaining the information more frequently, the autonomous vehicle 100 can also respond to emergency events. For example, there may be cases in which a security vehicle discovers an incident or accident while on patrol and must stop patrol. In such a case, by having the autonomous vehicle 100 obtain security vehicle patrol schedule information, it may be possible to switch from patrol route R2 on the right side of Figure 6 to patrol route R1 on the left side of Figure 6, and have the autonomous vehicle 100 patrol in place of the security vehicle.
- the patrol route may be created taking into consideration traffic rules that apply to security vehicles. For example, a security vehicle cannot patrol pedestrian-only areas where vehicles are prohibited from entering. In this case, an autonomous vehicle 100 that can travel on sidewalks may be used to create a route that strengthens monitoring of the pedestrian-only area. For example, a security vehicle cannot patrol a one-way road in the opposite direction. In this case, the autonomous vehicle 100, which is not subject to traffic rules for vehicles, may be configured to create a route that travels in the opposite direction on a one-way road. In this way, it becomes possible to identify people and vehicles in pedestrian-only areas and one-way roads that are not monitored by security vehicles.
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an autonomous vehicle 100a according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the difference from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is that a route change function that takes into account the time period and day of the week is added to the route change means 105a of the autonomous vehicle 100a. Since the other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the description will be omitted and the differences will be mainly described.
- the route change means 105a in this embodiment holds multiple patterns of routes, selects one from these routes depending on the time of day and day of the week, and sets it in the transportation means 102.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the route change operation of a moving body in the second embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the diagram on the left of FIG. 9 shows the patrol route R1 of the autonomous vehicle 100a when no security vehicles are patrolling, and is the same as that shown on the left of FIG. 6. Meanwhile, the two diagrams on the top and bottom of the right side of FIG. 9 show the patrol routes that the autonomous vehicle 100a uses depending on the time of day and the day of the week when security vehicles are patrolling.
- the autonomous vehicle 100a selects the patrol route in the upper right of FIG. 9 from the patrol routes shown on the right side of FIG. 9 and moves along that route. Furthermore, if the current time is in the morning or evening on a weekday, the autonomous vehicle 100a selects the patrol route R3 in the lower right of FIG. 9 from the patrol routes shown on the right side of FIG. 9 and moves along that route. In this way, the autonomous vehicle 100a can be made to watch over children going to and from school. In particular, in the patrol route R3 in FIG. 9, the autonomous vehicle 100a is set to move in the opposite direction to the security vehicle. In this way, it is possible for the security vehicle and the autonomous vehicle 100a to monitor children and people entering and leaving the school by passing each other.
- autonomous vehicle 100a selects patrol route R1 when no security vehicles are patrolling, but autonomous vehicle 100a may select a patrol route from among multiple routes according to the current time or day of the week even when no security vehicles are patrolling.
- the route change means 105a has multiple route patterns stored, and from these routes, a tour route is selected according to the time of day and the day of the week.
- the route change means 105a may create a tour route each time.
- the route change means 105a switches the tour route by changing the rules for creating the tour route according to the time of day and the day of the week.
- the patrol route was switched from the viewpoint of photographing children and people entering and leaving the school, but the patrol route may also be changed from other viewpoints. For example, if there is an area where incidents and accidents occur frequently, the patrol route may be set to strengthen patrols at times when incidents and accidents are more likely. Also, for example, if there is an area where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic, the patrol route may be set to strengthen patrols at times when there is a lot of pedestrian traffic.

- the route change means 205 creates a route that complements the surveillance area of the security vehicle based on the patrol schedule information of the security vehicle, and instructs the setting means 203 to set a route to the autonomous vehicle 100b.
- FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the operation of the control center device 200 of the third embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the control center device 200 acquires patrol schedule information for security vehicles from an external terminal or the like that manages the security vehicles (step S101).
- the control center device 200 creates a patrol route that complements the surveillance area of the security vehicle based on the patrol schedule information of the security vehicle (step S202).
- the patrol route can be created by the route change means 205 creating a route that patrols specific points each time, but it can also be created by selecting a patrol route that meets the conditions from multiple routes created in advance.
- control center device 200 instructs the setting means 203 to set the created patrol route and instructs movement along the changed route (step S203).
- the moving body is an autonomous vehicle, but the moving body to which the present disclosure can be applied is not limited to an autonomous vehicle.
